MY DESIGNS

My final designs for my current project.

my theme is the rain forest and virtual worlds. I think I will add more prints on them over the weekend

WEDNESDAY ADAMS

These photographs were taken by Jaz Sangha for her university project.

the theme was Gothic and moody. I thought the final outcomes looked

quite Wednesday Addams! they were taken at the ruins of a old nunnery, when we arrived there

you could hear the crows squeaking and it was so silent and windy. It freaked us out walking down towards the ruins ha-ha!! It was freezing standing bare leg posing but the outcome looks awesome!

Purchases and work this week

So I thought I would include images of the things I have purchased over the weekend,

I adore my new coat! its so slouchy and keeps me so warm in this horrible weather recently!

I got three new rings today in topshop sale, £2.50 for the skull and heart ones, and £8 for the gemstone, I love them!!

I purchased the pack of syrups from costa, my favourite is the salted caramel, its so tasty!

I got two jumpers from h&m but only one is on the website! the other is cream coloured with prints of a puma all over it. I included some work me and my friend Jaz are doing together for our fashion project.

They are our illustrations we have both done.

VINTAGE INSPIRED PHOTOSHOOT

Here are some photographs from my vintage project for my university work.

The photograph which inspired this look was Lana Del Rey 

I styled my models hair with curling tongs, and used Lee Staffords sea salt hair spray on the top to create a messy beach look. I used eyeliner on her lids, flicking it out like cat eye, and red lips to give it a glamorous vintage feel. I styled her in my vintage shell jackets that I purchased from Beatnix in Southampton, a urban outfitters leopard print crop top, and USA shorts. 

I need some serious £££

Being a student and not having much loan left, when all these new clothes that I LOVE are appearing in the shops is the worst thing ever! The top picture is my November Wishlist, its of the items ive seen and really want but cant afford at the moment. The bottom photograph is a trend page I made inspired by the 90S, I love this decade, its so fun, I own jelly shoes, rucksacks, Dr marten boots, skirts and beanies.

EYE

So here is my friend Naomi Lee's eye and Ive edited it on photoshop to make it look really colourful and cool, I also included a page from my sketchbook of what it would look like as a digital print on garments.

Collar Look

I purchased this collar a while back from Claires Accessories, but I couldn't think what to wear it with, I was rummaging through my wardrobe yesterday getting rid of clothes, and I found this crop and skirt, so I decided to see what it would look like if I put the two together, I then put a h&m cardigan over the top, and my Topshop Wedges which I haven't really had a chance to wear since buying them. I really like this look, It wouldn't really be a winter look as its chilly outside, but paired with some tights if you wanted to dare it, or save it for the warmer weather.

CHRISTMAS JUMPER

I stole this jumper from my brother as I really liked the pattern, its so comfy and you could wear it with anything. I chose to just pair with a simple black pair of leggings. Its from BHS mens section.

WISH LIST

Vintage Granny

This is a shirt I purchased from Beatnix vintage shop in southampton, my initial thought of it was 'thats so ugly its kind of cute' I like the shapes and colours and I would wear this over a dress like in the photo, or tucked into a pair of high waisted shorts or jeans. 

Trapeze Dress

This is a trapeze dress I purchased from Miss Guided, the colours are autumn tones, I also purchased it in a floral blue and light pastel colours to have another option. Its very slouchy and comfortable to wear, I like to pair it with my Dr Marten boots and my faux fur black coat I purchased from a charity shop.

Embellished Vintage Cardigan

I purchased this Vintage Embellished Cardigan a few months ago and I haven't taken a photograph of it, so thought I would pair it with a simple black dress. I love the purple, and the embellishments and beading are so pretty! I got it from Beatnik which is a vintage shop in Southampton and its amazing there! so many goodies, and its not too expensive either. ranging from about 15 to 20 pounds for jackets etc.

Its really comfy and slouchy and you could wear it with lots of things. 

University Work Inspired by digital prints and fantasy worlds

So here is some pages from my sketchbook I'm currently working on for Fashion Concept, I chose the Rain forest and went deeper with my idea by looking at virtual worlds, like avatar, different worlds and people living in the rain forest, a virtual idea of it being perfect and colourful, where as the reality is people are destroying the rain forests now for paper and oil etc. I'm really enjoying this project as its so creative, you can do design ideas and doodles, and its very colourful.
